Filed under: Cellphones, Digital Cameras First off, the chance of this Japanese super-phone coming to the US or anywhere else outside of Nippon is slim. FCC approval or not, it's likely only being tested for global roaming. However, as slim is its chances are, they've improved dramatically now that Japan's government is behind a push to promote its twisty, folding phones abroad. This Exilim-branded Casio / Hitachi mashup sports an 8 megapixel camera and with ...

Pricing starts at $5.95 to edit 250 words through to $49.95 for a 3000-word piece, with ...

Looks like the legal action against Scrabulous by the owners of the Scrabble trademark has finally kicked in worldwide. I'd previously reported on how to work around the block for US players, but now accessing Scrabulous in Australia results in a "this application is not available to you" message. All references to the Facebook version have also been removed from the main Scrabulous site (where the game remains playable). If you want a Scrabble-style wordgame ...

I’ve been impressed by Rax, the virtual effects and instrument rig for Mac, for some time. I marveled at its musician-friendly fullscreen interface and live visualizations in Rax 2.0, lamented its lack of popularity and eventual demise at developer Plasq, breathed a sigh of relief as it found a new home at Audiofile Engineering, and noted the unmistakable similarity of Apple’s MainStage.

分类: 移动电话 今天一早朋友丢了一个网页给我，问我喜欢其中哪一支手机？见鬼了，就算我很喜欢，不过这六款都是概念机，并没有商品化，选了也没什么意义。不过真要选的话，会选第二个吧，理由很简单，因为我本身不太会使用乐器，还是选个外型比较符合自己需求的产品，还比较有用一点。如果能够商品化的话，这六款手机应该就是目前最为强大的音乐手机了，更明确一点说，是与乐器概念结合的手机，有兴趣的朋友，可以点选引用来源，来看一下KDDI与YAMAHA的合作，是设计了什么样形式的手机，引用了什么样概念的乐器。不过，其中第五款Key to touch钢琴按键那款产品，倒是看不出来与手机的关系（这款是手机吗？）继续阅读全文 最为强大的音乐手机，如果商品化的话引用来源 | 此文章网址 | 转寄此文章 | 回应

Quantities are in US imperial measurements, but for most of the coffee recipes that shouldn't make a major difference.

If you only want wireless broadband occasionally -- when you travel for work or pleasure --then a prepaid plan sounds like a good investment. Optus has just launched such a deal; pay $199 for a wireless broadband modem and then recharge in blocks starting at $30 for 30 days access. That might sound like a tempting offer but, as Paul Wright points out over at APC, Optus is charging a minimum 10MB access each time ...
